If you’ve been thinking about planning your next trip with Alaska Airlines, you may want to check your Amex Offers because it can net you some huge savings.

Here’s what you need to know.

You must book directly at www.alaskaair.com or via the U.S. Alaska Airlines app. Keep in mind that your flights must originate in the U.S., including U.S. territories and purchases must be in U.S. To get the offer, you must book airfare, fare upgrades, seat selection fees and baggage fees.

To check to see if you were targeted, log into your American Express account and check the Amex Offers portal. Make sure to check all of your cards before clicking ‘Add to Card’ on one of them, as you’ll want to select the one that offers the best return on spending. I spotted this offer on The Platinum Card® from American Express, which is your best bet since it offers 5x points on purchases made directly with the airline.

And that’s not the only offer we’re seeing.

Other Amex Offers

We’re seeing an offer for $400 back after spending $1,500 or more on JetBlue Vacations packages. The offer is valid on vacation packages purchased directly from JetBlue Vacations online at jetbluevacations.com or by calling 1-844-528-2229. Note that you cannot buy standalone flights or bookings made through travel agents and third-party travel sites — it will not count. The offer is not valid on purchases of TrueBlue Points and travel insurance. JetBlue Cruises, purchases made at shopjetblue.com, in-flight transactions, and purchases from partner or third party sites linking to/from jetbluevacations.com are excluded from the offer.

This offer should be an easy one to meet. A quick search on the JetBlue Vacation site for a four-night stay in St. Lucia (UVF), departing from New York (JFK) totaled to just over $1,500 for the flight and hotel.

As with any Amex Offer, you’ll want to check all of your cards to select the one that offers the best return on the purchase. Offers are targeted, so you may not see them at all. If you do, I’d encourage you to add them right away, since these tend to have limited enrollment and may disappear before the expiration date.

If you don’t have an American Express card and don’t want to miss out on future offers like this, consider adding The Platinum Card from American Express to your wallet, as it’s offering a welcome bonus of 60,000 Membership Rewards points after you use your new card to make $5,000 in purchases in your first three months. However, you might be eligible for an Amex Platinum 100k points bonus offer using the CardMatch Tool (offer subject to change at any time).

You’ll also receive 5x Membership Rewards points on flights booked directly with airlines or with American Express Travel and 5x points on prepaid hotels booked on amextravel.com. As a Platinum cardholder, you’ll also receive complimentary Gold status with both Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors, so your stays could be even more rewarding.

Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That's $750 toward travel when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards®

2X points on travel and dining at restaurants worldwide & 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases.

Get 25% more value when you redeem for airfare, hotels, car rentals and cruises through Chase Ultimate Rewards. For example, 60,000 points are worth $750 toward travel

Get unlimited deliveries with a $0 delivery fee and reduced service fees on orders over $12 for a minimum of one year on qualifying food purchases with DashPass, DoorDash's subscription service. Activate by 12/31/21.
